Concept explainers

The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.

Gauge Pressure

Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem …

Textbook Question

Chapter 17, Problem 78GP

A Melting Glacier (a) A glacier is made of ice of density 850 kg/m³ and is 92 m thick. Treating the glacial ice as if it were a liquid, what is the pressure at the bottom of the ice? (b) The water solid-liquid curve (Figure 17-21 (b)) near the bottom of the glacier can be approximated by P = (1.31 × 10⁷) T + 1.01 × 10⁵, where P is the pressure in Pa and T is the Celsius temperature. What is the melting-point temperature for water at the bottom of the glacier?
